In September 2000, the University of Bayreuth, Germany, hosted the
Fourth International Meeting on Thermodi?usion (IMT4).

in the ?eld of thermodi?usion. Under the auspices of the European
Group of Research in
Thermodi?usion(EGRT)theconferenceseriesstartedin1994with IMT1 in
Toulouse and has been continued every other year with IMT2 (Pau,
1996), IMT3 (Mons, 1998), and IMT4 (Bayreuth, 2000). The next
conference, IMT5, will be held in 2002 in Lyngby, Denmark.

scribes the coupling between a temperature gradient and a resulting

century by Ludwig and Soret, it has gained growing interest during
the last years due to improved -

new applications. Traditionally, the focus has been on the ?uid
state, ra- ing from mixtures of simple liquids to more complex
systems such as critical mixtures, electrolytes, polymers,
colloidal dispersions, or magnetic ?uids. IMT4 tried to widen the
scope by including a plenary lecture about thermodi?usion in ionic
solids. Scienti?c input comes from diverse disciplines such as
physics, chemistry, engineering, and geophysics. Sadly, Leo Kempers

Thermodiffusion describes the coupling between a temperature gradient and a resulting mass flux. Traditionally, the focus has been on simple fluids, and it is now extending to more complex systems such as electrolytes, polymers, colloidal dispersions and magnetic fluids. This book widens the scope even further by including applications in ionic solids. Written as a set of tutorial reviews, it will be useful to experts, nonspecialist researchers and postgraduate students alike.
